    Tacos con tortillas hecha a manos - al pastor
    Emile T.

    Best tacos I have had in San Jose, CA. I ordered the tacos with fresh tortillas and they melt, bro. I don't know how it can carry the carne asada into your mouth, and then that tortilla just melts, bro. I need more tacos. The service is polite and the food came pretty quickly. The sauces are self serve and so are the aguas frescas. I think the self serve section could be maintained better. It's outdoors on Alum Rock, so that's the ambiance.

    mar y tierra - sub for tripas

    CASH ONLY OR ZELLE. we were nearby to get pizza box and saw this truck nearby so wanted to try. the mar y tierra tacos looked good to me in photos in review so i decided to try it - i'd say they did give quite a bit of shrimp - i sub meat part for tripas - tripas weren't that flavorful tho so i couldn't really taste it even if i ate the tacos without the shrimps. carne asada tacos were mid - the meat was sort of sweet tasting instead of your usual carne asada flavor. it was good to try but prolly wont return again. have had worse and have had better.

    located on the side of alum rock! good place for late night tacos!! they open until 3am on fridays and saturdays!! until 1am other days! i got the taco mar y tierra and the grilled shrimp went so well with the carne asada which was covered in cheese YUMM they give you a big portion too like one taco was so filling for me. the service was good! i believe it's cash only or zelle here to pay.

    i don't remember which agua fresca this was. there was this one and horchata to choose from.

    i give this place 4 stars. why? the tacos were solid. nothing wrong with the meat, not dry, tortillas were good, onions, cilantro, salsa, all hit the spot. if you've seen this truck on social media. give it try. it's worth it imo. service was alright. no complaints.

    Torta milanesa.

    The food is better than the Mexican restaurants near my apartment. I've had the quesabirria quesadilla and the milanesa torta so far. Both were excellent.

    Orale Taco Truck is truly a hidden gem that food lovers should not overlook. I recently visited and ordered the carne asada torta, and I was impressed by the generous amount of meat and the vibrant flavors of the salsas--they really elevate the food. I also tried their chicken tacos, which were very good, but the standout for me was the shrimp with steak tacos. The combination was fantastic, and the handmade tortillas made all the difference in texture and taste. If you're looking for delicious food at a reasonable price, I highly recommend Orale Taco Truck. It's a must-try! They take cash and zelle as payment but FYI they prefer cash

    Solid spot for when you are craving some mexican food reaaaaally late at night (they open till 3am!) and don't feel like driving to Cali Spartan's and dealing with the long wait/crowds. I got two street tacos, one with al pastor and the other with carne asada -- personally, I liked their al pastor more. Is this the best tacos you'll ever have? Definitely not, but it's a solid choice when you want a late night snack and your options are limited! Pretty nice that they give you radish, grilled onions, and a grilled pepper with your order. They also have pickled onions on the table. The orange and green avocado-based salsas were quite nice too. Had no issues with parking and they had a decent amount of tables and chairs laid out. It was also well-lit.

    My go to late night spot is no longer in business so I drove up and down slim rock looking for a taco truck to try. Saw this on the corner where fast bikes is and it decided to try it. Order two Carne Asada and a surf and turf, shrimp with meat mixed together. Tacos were tasty, they had a small condiment wire to dress to tacos how you want. There's a few tables for dining option. The food came out pretty quick once I put my order in.

    Another taco truck in SJ yay!! There is outdoor seating but it does get chilly at night. Food truck is cash only or they also accept Zelle. I would recommend to come here for their burritos cuz this is my fav spot for burritos. I have had tacos and other things on the menu but honestly would just pass and get their burritos yes!! I love their spicy avocado sauce that they have in house, I think it's one of their specialities because they would only have orange and green sauces everywhere else.

    Super nachos carne asada

    Late night taco truck. We got carne asada super nachos, carne asada burrito, two bottled sodas .. totaling $40 . Please see photos of the nachos, it was terrible and borderline inedible. The cheese was terrible, looked like some processed melted cheese. The carne asada just looked like ground beef ?? There was cheese on the guac, on the pico de gallo, everywhere. Honestly this is a mess and we barely touched it. Burrito was subpar. Not worth the money at all.

    Todo very good, tacos de tripa were just as crispy I requested. The staff is nice and very attentive to us,

    I was overcharged heavily without consent on my card when I asked for extra lemons/sauce. Seriously? Over taco trucks aren't this stingy.

I would suggest that the serve mention that when taking orders so we know. Just because it's at the very bottom of the menu I didn't notice it until I asked for a dessert menu. The food was so good! We had Mexican jambalaya, Carne asada plate, tacos Dorado, enchiladas with both sauces, parillada, enfrioladas (bean enchiladas) tacos de pescado, Don julio flight, multiple drinks and churros. The churros were really good although we wish there was a non filled ones too and to have the optionof if we wanted it dressed up because churros are already super sweet with the cinnamonand sugar dusted but caramel and whip cream was added along with a strawberry filling. We also ordered a tres leches cake but we didn't like the tres leches cake, it was too sweet, so sweet that we couldn't taste the filling which we assume was pineapple lol the color was yellow with pieces of fruit but we couldn't taste it. Overall the service was great and quick. I would definitely come back here.

Plenty of parking available since the restaurant is in a strip mall. It wasn't too busy when we got there, but then it started picking up. There was only one server working and she was really hustling to meet everyone's needs. Plus, she was friendly. I had the carne asada burrito, it was good but nothing over the top that made it stand out. My friend had enchiladas with mole. We were most excited about dessert and decided to share the churros and Tres leches. It was a nice touch that the churros and Tres leches did not come plain, a little pizzazz since they were both served with berries, whipped cream, and a cajeta style sauce. Both of the desserts were so good and a perfect touch of sweetness.

Our server was Sebastian & he was super friendly, attentive & recommended us the goods. My favorite here was their enchiladas - red & stuffed with chicken tinga. It also came with a side of rice & beans. The pickled red onions that came on top was delicious as well. My daughter even loved it & she's super picky about her onions. Drinks were good, the michelada with the shrimps - fire. Paloma - not that strong for the price you pay, but it was still alright.

They charged us for an adult Chicken and Waffles even though we sent it back and got the correct kids' portion I originally ordered. They also charged us for TWO molcajetes when only ONE came out. The check went from $265 to $200 after we caught everything. 1000000% they were hoping we wouldn't notice. I could believe it was an honest mistake if two molcajetes had come out, but they didn't. Since gratuity was already included, it really makes me wonder how many people have overpaid without realizing it. We came in with a group of 6. Everything was okay at first. We ordered chips with salsa and beans, and the beans were delicious, so we ordered a second round. At most restaurants, chips and salsa are free, so we assumed the same here. Unfortunately, we were never told the second round wasn't free, or that only one refill was included, and no one asked if we were okay with the additional charge. My dad and I shared the molcajete, which was pretty good, had enough meat, and was literally BOILING hot. My MIL and husband both ordered the Carne Asada plate. It was tasty but had really small portions, so we had to share our food with them to fill them up. My kids ordered French toast and chicken strips. They were originally supposed to get Chicken and Waffles, but they were out of waffles or couldn't make them--I'm not really sure. This is where the problems started. I specifically said KIDS chicken & waffles twice when ordering, but they brought out the adult size for my oldest, which was $8 more. Fine, we can call that an honest mistake, but then it was also charged on the final bill even after we sent it back. Unfortunately, after everything with the bill, we will NOT be going back here again.

The staff were attentive, gave great menu recommendations, and constantly came by to refill our water. Very spacious dining room. We started with the Queso Fundido, served on a small hot plate with chilis, garlic, and oil on top. It's basically a block of cheese served with chips. Even with the hot plate, it didn't stay gooey for long, but it was a pretty good starter. The Coconut Campachano was creamy and refreshing. It also came with chips, though ours seemed like crumbs from the bottom of the barrel. We got the Trompo tacos and Sautéed Shrimp tacos. Both were tasty, and the tortillas seemed fresh.

My wife is Latina, so we're pretty familiar with authentic Latin/Mexican flavors, and from the moment we walked in, we were a little unsure of what to expect. We completely understand we're in Willow Glen and that Copita is going for a more upscale take, but for us, authenticity and flavor still have to be at the heart of the experience. Our waitress was very friendly and polite, and this review is absolutely not a reflection of her service. However, when we asked about the style of the food, there seemed to be a little hesitation in explaining it, which made us even more uncertain about what we had gotten ourselves into. I don't like bashing restaurants or their food, so I'll simply say that, unfortunately, the highlight of our meal was the chips and salsa. The cocktails, on the other hand, were good and definitely not shy on the alcohol! Also, don't expect large portions. The restaurant is clearly aiming for a more upscale presentation and experience, so the plates reflect that. Overall, Copita just wasn't for us. This was our first visit and unfortunately will probably be our last. I genuinely wish them success, but I think a few changes, especially when it comes to the flavors and authenticity of the food could make a big difference.
